Just recieved the most heartwarming message from a sweet mom in Scotland. Her young son, who is nonverbal and autistic, has been participating in our program remotely - and the progress he’s making is truly inspiring!

Wesley is the most amazing young man!

Though he is still working on being able to speak, he has given me an incredible gift: a window into the world of autism from his own perspective. His insight—and the practical advice he’s shared with me, straight from his experience of what’s happening in his brain and body—has been invaluable in helping other young people like him.

I deeply admire Wesley for the constant hemispheric battle he’s fighting on the road to speech. His faith, strength, and generosity in sharing his journey inspire and bless so many.

Keep going, Wesley. You’re making a difference more than you know!

We brought our 9 year old son to work with Mindy a year ago. He is diagnosed with Autism, and he has been receiving standard interventions such as speech therapy, OT, and ABA for many years with little change or progress. After hearing about the Melillo method, we looked in to brain balance but were discouraged due to the price tag. We found Mindy by chance and and were thrilled with her comparable services at a fraction of the cost of brain balance.

Since our son has started, we can honestly say that Mindy’s work has resulted in the most growth and gains in our son. His speech improved, as well as balance, eye contact, awareness, and impulse control to name a few. He is making strides in being more conversational, and his coordination has improved to where he can catch and throw a ball, and even ride a scooter! His sensory sensitivities have also decreased!

We also have a younger son who is neurotypical but struggles in some areas of focus, socialization, and eye contact. He had some challenges in school that were pointed out by his teachers. Since he has been working with Mindy, a lot of these challenges in school have improved to the point where they are virtually non existent. His eye contact, focus, handwriting and socialization has also improved dramatically.

Throughout the years of being on this journey with our ASD son, we have come to realize that an intervention is only as good as the therapist. We can confidently say that Mindy and her team truly care about all of the clients they work with. Besides the amazing methodology and techniques, Mindy is a huge difference maker in our lives. We can’t recommend her enough!

When this sweet boy first started with us, it took two people, a pillow, and a whole lot of patience to do the starfish. Now, look at him—he does it all on his own! So proud of his hard work and the progress he's made!

"Chemical substances and even supplements affect the brain, but none promote neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity takes a specific stimulus delivered in a specific way at a specific time with a specific repetition to literally change the brain."

"My teenage daughter worked with Mindy, Macy, and Alle at Brain Connect for several months in 2024. Mindy was very thorough in assessing emotional, intellectual, and physical concerns and in establishing a plan to grow my daughter’s function in each area. I was very pleased to find the Brain Connect methods to be backed by science and research, staying far away from mystical or new age methods that did not line up with my Christian faith. (I mention this fact because I have been in other situations where the methods have gone against my convictions.)
My daughter achieved excellent results from her Brain Connect sessions. She conquered much of her long-standing anxiety, built core muscle strength that greatly improved her posture and alleviated some of her spine curvature, and she gained a greater degree of confidence that has enabled her to more easily converse with others. I have been asked by acquaintances what she has done to undergo such a change and I have shared our experience with Brain Connect.
The session fees were very fair and Mindy always went above and beyond to ensure that our time was worth the price as well as the 50-minute drive we took to get there. We were met with kindness and care every time we attended and we often felt more like family than clients.
While I won’t say that Brain Connect was an overnight miracle cure for my daughter, it was well-worth the time, effort, and cost to work through the program and I would definitely recommend exploring the program’s possibilities for any child who struggles with executive function, emotional difficulties, or delays".

Melanie has been nonverbal her whole life. But just this week, in anticipation of her 20th birthday, she began to say the word without any prompting. Her mom sent this video of her working on pronunciation.

“If you want to maintain a high level of function throughout your life, you need to develop plasticity. As you continue activating [neural] pathways they become more efficient and require less energy to communicate, which is called long-term potentiation. The best thing you can do is challenge your brain constantly with both cognitive and physical activities. In order to maintain your brain, you need to be a scholar and an athlete.”

Pokémon cards from the principal!
Caiden was struggling in school, but after about a week into his sessions, he came bounding in to show us these. Usually kids show us their suddenly amazing test scores, but these are just as exciting.

According to his mom:
“He has been a lot more calm and responsive when angry. Before he would just be so aggressive and would shut down completely.”

It’s all about neuroplasticity!
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was around age seven and did poorly academically all the way through college. When he failed to get into graduate school at the age of twenty, he became a clerk in the Swiss Patent Office. But he did not give up his cerebral pursuits. Just six years later he published the first draft of his scientific Theory of Relativity, which won him the Nobel Prize ten years later.

When Einstein’s brain was examined after he died in 1955, it appeared basically the same as everyone else’s. It was roughly the same size and shape as most brains and had the average number of brain cells. One scientist, however, discovered something uniquely different about Einstein’s brain: It possessed an enormous number of connections, or synapses, between brain cells. While at one time this could have been credited to good genes, we can now see that a great deal of Einstein’s genius was the result of the unique way he used his brain.

The same intellectual growth can happen to your child, by combining physical exercise and mental exercise with sensory stimulation to get the left and right sides of the brain to reconnect, strengthen, and grow new connections. When this happens, the behavior problems created by the brain imbalance and the nutritional problems that contributed to the problem start to disappear.

Cason struggled with reading (and sitting still and focusing on a task) when he began with BrainConnect. His grandpa sent this video of his reading now.
In the words of Cason: “Brain trainin’ fixed my eyes and now I can read”.
